We all love words – that is why we are here reading listverse. This list looks at some special words that are not from English and, furthermore, are untranslatable to English. These are words which have, for the most part, not become loan words, but describe concepts we generally understand in English, but need many more words to convey.

No way that I could translate these words. These are the words that we would have no choice but to borrow them as our new words for the English language.
